Andy,

No, we don't have an HTTP URL.  It's merely a matter of pointing a
virtual directory in Apache at the FTP server location, so we can have
it running easily if needed for a test.

Uh, did we ever put the changes in to allow an http URL to the system
upgrade command?  Or am I missing the point?  Yes, I am missing the
point.

Eric, do we have an http URL for the tar balls on our public servers?
If not, then why-the-hell-not-already?  But seriously, I think you
already told me we did, I just don't remember.
